Inside Out–Porches

I was thinking about this week’s Weekly Prompt of Inside Out and thought of how we move from inside our homes to the greater outdoors. And then I thought of porches.

I realized as I strolled through large and small, formal and informal gardens that it is more than just the flowers that make a garden unique and interesting, it is the setting, the trees, the rocks, the pathways. Check out… Continue reading Travel Theme–Garden

Some pricks are minor nuisances that sting for a moment and then are quickly forgotten. I think those… Continue reading Those Pesky Pricks in Life

Man Made Patterns–With N

The daily prompt photo challenge piqued my interest, so after doing a thorough search of my picture archives I found these shots of two wonderful gardens near Paris.
